Ich sage aber euch: Wer sich von seinem Weibe scheidet (es sei denn um der Hurerei willen) und freit eine andere, der bricht die Ehe; und wer die Abgeschiedene freit, der bricht auch die Ehe.
Y yo os digo que cualquiera que repudiare a su mujer, si no fuere por causa de fornicación, y se casare con otra, adultera: y el que se casare con la repudiada, adultera.
Mais je vous dis que celui qui répudie sa femme, sauf pour infidélité, et qui en épouse une autre, commet un adultère.
Or io vi dico che chiunque manda via la sua moglie, salvochè per cagion di fornicazione, e ne sposa un’altra, commette adulterio; ed altresì chi sposa colei che è mandata via commette adulterio.
Eu vos digo, porém, que qualquer que repudiar sua mulher, não sendo por causa de fornicação, e casar com outra, comete adultério; e o que casar com a repudiada também comete adultério.
我告訴你們,凡休妻另娶的,若不是為不貞的緣故,就是犯姦淫了。 」
